In Response to COVID-19

In response to the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), First United Presbyterian Church of Clinton, IA will be suspending worship, meetings, small groups, and office hours "until further notice" as Session continues to monitor the current situation. Worship messages and news items will be emailed and posted on our website throughout this time, and mailed to those who do not use the internet. Because we have a vulnerable congregation in terms of age and health issues, we want our church family to be safe. We pray for the many whose lives are affected by this pandemic. Please be safe and stay healthy.

Worship messages will be posted by Sunday afternoons each week while we are closed.
